Everyone get ready for the 2009 Halloween Costume CoN+est! This year, we have decided to open up the rules a little bit to get more people in on the fun. Just some basic rule changes though. The biggest thing we have changed is to open this to all video game characters! I know, I know, this is a Nintendo blog, right? We just can't contain our nerdy selves when we see other nerds in video game garb. You wanna be Master Chief and compete against Waluigi and Wario? Do it, we dare you! Are you a Sackboy fan? We bet you can't go toe to toe with Infernape! Oh, and what if you don't wanna dress up, but your puppy or kitty does?! DO IT! I swear if I see a pug dressed up as a Shy-Guy, I might die crying out of laughter! Oh, and the animals are allowed to pick any game character too. However, due to the complex nature of PC and Mac related characters and what IS or IS NOT related to the "game-machine" we will not be able to accept any characters from these "consoles". As you know, we also take costumes related to machines themselves (one very close runner up dressed as a Wii-Remote, another dude dressed as an item box from Mario), so items and physical real life relations count - just not from computers. Sorry guys a USB Keyboard costume is not up for entry (however we will still show the photos ).

So yeah, all you fans who wanted to go as a Sony, Xbox, or old time Sega exclusive can enter this year, and so can your pets! Just remember this, if you enter as a team, you win as a team - no triple prizes Pikmin Team! Enter together or as rivals!

This is the Demo Post of a succesful entry into the Costume CoN+est. This should help you get ideas on how to take photos and how to stay within the rules when entering. It's designed to help answer most of your questions. If there are any questions left after this post, please feel free to private message me the questions, you can even ask if such and such character or item or whatever is acceptable for submission if its in the "grey area" in the rules or something. Have fun with this contest please and don't do anything unsafe like driving a tractor while wearing a Gamecube outfit. Read more for the sample post...

This is the first year that N+ was able to do the costume coN+est, and it turned out great! It seemed for a while that there were a few entrants, but in the final minutes (LITERRALY!) entrants finished up the touches on the costumes, and submitted photos!

First off, let me say that you members voted .ed into ring, and myself out - THIS was the only purpose of the member poll! The N+ moderators had an almost impossible challenge of deciding on who was first second and third! we had ties the entire time in our own private poll, until the last second!

To be fair, there were a lot of people that missed the deadline for the EvWiiwhere Challenge (originally today was the last day) because of crappy local weather this weekend. I received a few messages from some that convinced me to extend the time frame for submissions another week. While this may seem unfair to those who've already submitted something, it still gives you a whole additional week to get more submissions in yourself, increase your chances of having the fan favorite, and still gives you a longer head start on building up your votes. So no worries, this extension benefits everyone.

To participate, read the detailed original post that also details the voting and prizes. And share the love with banners and buttons!_{The new deadline for submissions will be the end of the day (globally) May 6th 2007.}
